This lively and intense event—with the first of three 18-hole rounds teeing off at 8 a.m. Sunday (Feb. 23)—will be held on The Players Course, one of two 18-hole golf courses at the club created by world-renowned designer Robert Trent Jones, Jr. and former home of the Honda Classic and the LPGA's Chrysler Plymouth Tournament of Champions. The second round will be played Sunday afternoon, with the final round teeing off at 8 a.m. Monday (Feb. 24), followed by an awards ceremony.
A field of 100 players (7 women's teams, 13 men's teams) will compete, including Howard University's Kendall Jackson, the 2024 women's winner, who returns to defend her individual title. The inaugural champions from 2024 were Florida A&M University (men's Div. I), Miles College (men's Div. II), and Howard University (women's).
